Is the Carolyn Maxi Dress fitted through the body?

The Carolyn Maxi Dress fits true to size and is cut on the bias, allowing the satin to skim the body rather than sit rigidly against it. It is shaped through the waist before falling into a fluid full-length skirt.

Is the Carolyn Maxi Dress lined?

Yes. The Carolyn Maxi Dress is fully lined for comfort and structure while maintaining the fluid movement of the satin outer layer.

Can I wear the Carolyn Maxi Dress to a wedding or black-tie event?

Absolutely. The Carolyn Maxi Dress was designed for weddings, black-tie events, formal celebrations and evening occasions. The full-length satin silhouette and fringe detailing make it a statement piece, so it works particularly well with minimal heels and understated jewellery.

Conversions are a guide only. Where you fall between sizes, our body and garment measurements are the more reliable place to look.

These are body measurements, not garment measurements.

For best fit, measure yourself and compare with the size chart.

Body Measurements

E·L·S	Bust	Waist	Hips

E.L.S pieces are designed to contour the waist and flatter the natural line of the body. Our pieces fit true to size.

Measuring Guide

For the most accurate results, measure over underwear, keeping the tape level and comfortably snug.

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, just above your belly button.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, approximately 20 cm below your waist.
Length: From the highest shoulder point to the hem.

Some things are worth measuring, because what is coming should fit perfectly.

These are garment measurements, not body measurements. Taken with the piece laid flat, so double the figure for full circumference.

Garment Measurements

How to Compare

Lay it flat: Place a garment you already own on a flat surface and measure from seam to seam.
Compare: Match those numbers to the chart above, and double them for full circumference.
Allow for the fabric: Fluid fabrics skim rather than cling, so they read looser on the body than a structured piece of the same measurement.

The Carolyn Maxi Dress is a full-length women’s evening dress defined by texture and movement. Crafted from a lustrous acetate satin blend, cut on the bias for fluid drape and fully lined for structure and comfort, it skims the body through the bodice before falling fluidly to the floor. Fringe detailing frames the boat neckline, bust and sleeves, adding depth and subtle movement — a couture-inspired finish that elevates its minimalist form. Designed for evening occasions, formal celebrations and moments that call for something unforgettable.

Made in limited quantities.
Designed in Australia. Created for you.
